Riad Nafis is a beautiful and peaceful place in the heart of Marrakech. The architecture and atmosphere truly reflect the charm of Moroccan culture. What made our stay even more special was the outstanding service. Mr. Ibrahim went above and beyond to make us feel at home. From the moment we arrived, he was kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. His warm hospitality made a lasting impression on us. We are very grateful for his care and highly recommend Riad Nafis to anyone visiting Marrakech. 5/5 🌟

It was awesome and the staff was beyond helpful. They even came for me on the main street on my first night in Marrakech because I was a little confused by the narrow streets. Everything was clean and nice, I had a room next to the pool but unfortunately was a bit too chilly to take a dip. Breakfast was also nice and I was happy to chill on the nice rooftop whenever I had the chance.

At night it could get a bit noisy since the pool / inner courtyard is not covered. Also, if it’s cold outside, the room also cools down, but they do have ACs so you can make the room comfortable easily.

We spent just one night at Riad Nafis, but it was enough to leave a lasting impression. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Ibrahim and Hamid were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help us with our stay and making sure everything was seamless. Their warmth and attentiveness truly made our stay special. We were amazed by how perfectly the tagine they served us was cooked—the flavors, the spices, everything was just right. Dining by the fireplace in the patio added a romantic touch, making the experience even more memorable. The location of the Riad was another plus. Just outside the Medina, it offered a peaceful retreat from the crowds while still being in a lively neighborhood with local shops, markets and cafés. Overall, Riad Nafis was a fantastic place to stay—comfortable, welcoming, and with some of the best food we had in Marrakesh. Highly recommended!

We cannot come up with anything we did not like.

The place is gorgeous, the room is large enough and with style, the terrace very nice, the breakfast very nice and complete, we were even served before the hour when we went for an early activity. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom large, maybe the light not enough for putting the make up :) It seems to be in a safe area as the palace is just around the corner. We ate around, at small local places, very tasty. Easy to find taxis and there seems to be many buses around.

The swimming pool is rather small(er) than in the photos. We were told it is open so we can use it but it is actually in open air so for early Jan was way too cold to use it - this created frustration as we expected to have a place with swiming pool (that seems indoor in the photos!)... As it has the riad form, in case the other guests are noisy, it is easy to be disturbed as the windows and the door give on the internal patio - not our case as we were lucky with reasonable people but keep this in mind.

Everything about our stay at Riad Nafis was brilliant; the staff are some of the kindest and most hospitable people we have ever met. As soon as we arrived, we were invited up to the terrace for complimentary Moroccan tea/snacks. Mr Yassine met us in the morning and gave us some very useful information and tips. The room and facilities were fantastic, we enjoyed the pool downstairs and the terrace upstairs. Very clean; breakfast was lovely and varied over the 4 mornings we were there. Very handy location into the medina. The staff were incredibly helpful and we were looked after very well. We will be back insh’allah!

If you look for a rustic and genuine stay in Marrakech within the Medina I can recommend this Riad. The Riad is located in a good area of the Medina with typical narrow streets. The room we had were quite narrow with a balcony, very clean. The land lord Yasimine and his staff were very helpful and arranged several excursions and gave as worthful advices were to go and what to see and other good tips. The breakfast were incredibly good and the orange juice is just gordious.

Exceptional stay, Yassine and his staff really care about your stay. Trips can be arranged, taxis to and from airport, even offering a breakfast early. The breakfast was always plentiful, varied and delicious. Take the opportunity to have a meal as it is tasty homemade food. Very clean, well situated next to the Palace, 10 minute walk to the main square, market place Jemaa el-Fnaa and in our opinion the perfect Riad to explore Marrakech. What a welcome to Morocco, we will be back.

There is nothing we didn’t like. We had a very small issue which was entirely a misunderstanding on our part and Yassine responded immediately, offered us a solution and couldn’t have been kinder to make our stay an exceptional experience. A massive thank you to all the Riad Nafis team.

Beautiful riad in Marrakech, and our experience was exceptional. The location was perfect—tucked away in a quiet, authentic neighborhood but still within walking distance of the main attractions. The riad itself was spotless, with an elegant blend of traditional design and modern comfort. The pool was a wonderful retreat after a day of exploring the city, and we spent many afternoons relaxing there. Breakfast was simply on point—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented every morning. One small suggestion for improvement would be adding locks to the rooms for extra security, which would give an additional sense of privacy. Otherwise, everything was fantastic, and we highly recommend staying here for an unforgettable experience!

Locks in the Room

Great place to stay, big and clean. The free large bottle of water was a blessing (it was a hot day). Pool looks amazing even if you don't swim. And service was great, the receptionist reminded me of the hotel continental from the movie john wick but only the receptionist itself, not the hotel =)

I felt like there was not enough fresh air in the room (I had to leave the window open all night, it's acceptable but not great). Breakfast was good but not enough (at least for me).

Location was great, exactly as described. Yas came to greet us from the main road as a thoughtful gesture as we would have most certainly got lost getting to the riad initially! Breakfast was very homely, tasty coffee and assortment of fresh pastries, yoghurt, eggs on request too. Incredibly helpful staff; nothing was too much effort from booking us a massage to arranging a bottle for us to enjoy by the pool. Our highlight was enjoying time spent on the roof terrace, with distant views of the atlas mountains in a tranquil setting. We would 100% recommend Riad Nafis and Yas's home from home style accomodation and would like to visit again. Thank you :)

We can't think of anything!
